Convention Were Entertained.
Special Correspondence of the Globe.
BUFFALO, n. Y, June S.-Over $50
delegates, and as many more eX-dele-
gates and visitors, arrived in Buffalo,
Saturday, June 4, and were received at
the Mansion house by the local union
No. 8, of this city. From this reception
to the boys to the time of their depar-
ture, have the Buffalo people shown the
delegates and visitors the greatest cOur-
teSy and attention, and it was with
much regret that wewere obliged to leave
The beautiful city of Buffalo. The first
entertainment of merriment occurred
Saturday night when union, No. 8 gave
the boys grand reception. The next
day an excursion down the Niagara
river to Shoemaker, in the steamer
Perriwinkle, was attended by something
over 800 people. y bount full repaSt
was served at Shoemaker and after
participating in number of youthful
sports, the crowd returned delighted
with the trip. Monday the business
session began. and though some of the
boys" had rather large heads, business
was properly attended to. Tuesday a
delightful drive around the city dis
played what remarkably fine city Buff
falo is, with its beautiful parks, its we'll
paved streets, its perfect water system, its
grand public building and home-like
residences, with its wonderful scenery
and beautiful suburbs, it makes one of
the grandest cities i'll our country. The
PreSSman's club invited the delegates
to another reception on "Wednesday
night, and of course it was accepted and
enjoyed immensely. But the great
event of the week in the pleasure part
OF the programme was the
TRIP TO NIAGARA FALLS,
which occurred last Thursday after
noon, when some 800 viewed the grand
est spectacle man ever WitnesSed.a sight
only appreciated after having viewed
it for hours and upon different occas-
SlohS-the Seething. fOaming, aWe-in-
spring Falls of Niagara
The falls are more attractive than
formerly, and draw larger crowds of
sightseeing visitors. Cheaper to visit,
better accommodation and more to see
are the remarks of those who visited it
ten or fifteen years ago, and who have
returned to view the grandeur OF nature
a second time. The state of New York
and Canada are working together to
regenerate and beautify this resort. A
Queen Victoria Niarara Falls park is in
contemplation, and when this is COM
pleted the grandeSt sightseeing ground
in the world will be practically free to
all who may desire to come. Though
the scarcity of available funds prevents
the making of any expensive improve
ments, yet much is being done by az
ranging and repairing the parks and
buildings, putting them in presentable
shape. The large hotels are assuming a
new attractiveness. Many thousands of
dollars have lately been spent to alter,
enlarge and beautify them. The new
theater and cafe known as the Casino
has its charms for visitors and fills a
long-felt want. A driving park is about
to be established, where lovers of horse
racing will find as interesting attrac-
lions as at Saratoga or Sheephead Bay.
These, together with other pro
JectS in contemplation, indicate
prosperous season at Niagara.
But to return to the typos. From what
has been said one would think that lit
tie or 10 business had been attended to,
but not so. L have only been relating
the side issues, the election of officers,
appointing committees, disposing of
resolutions and amendments, besides
the performing of multitudinOus other
duties, have all been accomplished Judi
cially and with due consideration, and
the delegates just returning home are
to be congratulated upon the success of
their convention. The last "copy'' has
been taken from the hook the lock-
ing-up'' is finished, and the typos, after
clearing pi and correcting errors will
''stone' the matter for the stereotypers.
